Lyrics
Thank You Sweet Jesus
God so loved the human race he gave up his only son. Who was scorned and tortured for the words that he said, always on the run.
He asked his father for strength and grace, to endure what he had to face.
His final words spoken, at last it is done. The battle was lost, but the victory was won.
(CHORUS)
I wanna thank you, sweet Jesus, for dying for me. On the hill of Calvary, you set mankind free.
For the blood that you shed, oh the agony, I wanna thank you, sweet Jesus, for loving me.
Mary, His mother, shed many tears on that somber day. Her heart wrenched with pain, she continued to pray, bravely stood by His side.
Sharing His torment, she watched Him die, Bless You, till' we meet again Good-bye.
She held Him in her arms, when He fell from the cross, rejoiced His triumph, while grieving for her loss.
(CHORUS)
